Every year we come back and see again: this is the best week of racing in the world. It’s a massive social event, too, with a sea of people who looked like they walked off the set of AMy Fair Lady,@ but for the professionals that’s a pleasant sideline. It’s really about the racing. Impossibly big fields, and everybody’s trying. There are five days of racing, six races a day. No bad races; some really spectacular, some just insoluble handicaps. It’s the most spectacular racing festival on the planet, the one everybody wants to try and emulate.
